Overview

Offshore engineering deals primarily with built systems that are placed in the ocean; and marine engineering focuses on the designs and operations of vessels and engineering systems on these vessels, as well as the processes running offshore. Failures of process operations and safety-related systems in these fields could cause a catastrophic accident, for example, the deep-sea petroleum drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded and oil spill off the coast of Louisiana on April 20, 2010, causing by the failure of subsea blowout preventer stack. Therefore, the extremely strict requirements for reliability and safety exist in offshore and marine engineering. Facilities are being deployed remoter and deeper in subsea, arctic and other harsher environment, and they are more vulnerable to the climate changes and extreme climate events. On the other hand, many new technologies are introduced in this era of Industry 4.0, for example, autonomous vessels and underwater robots, and also the widely used marine and subsea cyber-physical systems. Unexpected operating conditions and uncertainties from these immature technologies bring many new challenges to the safe operations in offshore and marine fields, and then create new research topics for the academics.

This special issue on reliability and safety in offshore and marine engineering invites original papers dealing with the reliability and safety analysis and evaluation methodologies of systems in offshore and marine.

Topics of the special issue can include the following specific issues, but not limited to:

- Failure mechanism analysis of systems and processes in offshore and marine engineering

- Methodologies for reliability modeling, analysis and evaluation of offshore systems and vessels
